The first day of Nursery is a milestone — for both children and parents. At GEMS Wellington Academy – Silicon Oasis, we know how to make this experience a smooth and joyful beginning to your child’s learning journey.
Our nurturing spaces are inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy and the Curiosity Approach, designed to feel like a home away from home. These environments spark calm, curiosity, and confidence — helping children settle in naturally.
We recommend talking positively about school in the lead-up to the first day. Visit the space together, look at photos of the classrooms, and speak about the kinds of activities they’ll enjoy — like messy play in our outdoor areas or discovery in the Orange Tree Learning Centre.
A familiar routine helps too. Practise dressing for school, packing a healthy snack, and using the toilet independently. At WSO, our settling-in period is gently phased, with opportunities for children to build trust and security at their own pace.
And for parents? Know that you’re not alone. Our team builds strong relationships with families, providing regular updates, open communication, and lots of reassurance.
